Details of this retreat
An MDMA session with Gijs is a good choice for several compelling reasons:
Extensive Professional Experience
With over 30 years as a trainer and therapist, Gijs has a robust background in mainstream mental health (GGZ), crisis intervention, and therapy. This extensive experience means he understands the complexities of psychological challenges and can provide a safe, knowledgeable space for deep inner work.
Holistic Integration of Therapy and Spirituality
Gijs combines his therapeutic expertise with decades of meditation practice and personal spiritual development. His approach bridges the gap between traditional cognitive therapies and the compassionate, heart-centered elements of spirituality. This integration creates a balanced, nurturing environment where you can explore your inner world beyond just the intellect.
Personal Transformation Through Psychedelics
His own guided psychedelic journey was a turning point—an epiphany that redefined his approach to healing. By transforming his personal struggles into strengths, Gijs is uniquely equipped to guide others through a similarly transformative process, ensuring that the session isn’t just recreational but deeply healing.
Gentle and Direct Guidance
Gijs emphasizes simplicity and ease in his sessions. Rather than overwhelming you with complex psychological theories, he offers a gentle, direct approach that focuses on becoming friends with yourself—inviting you to embrace self-love, acceptance, and the natural flow of your inner experience.
Thorough Preparation and Support
Gijs provides comprehensive preparation for your session, including practical tips, reading materials, and exercises, so you feel both safe and supported before, during, and after your journey. This thoughtful preparation helps set clear intentions and ensures that you can fully benefit from the session.
